~Hello again from WNY~
We are still in NY; Fr. had two funerals today and a parish council meeting tonight, so the boys and I are entertaining ourselves. We went by the parish house and met the neighborhood children when the school bus dropped them off. I was at the house on Saturday without my children, and all the neighborhood kids were playing in the circle. I spent about 45 mins talking to all the children and I really like them. They were all very friendly, articulate and sweet with one another.
I think we are going to like living on that street. The house is in a cul-de-sac and there are a lot of children our children’s ages. I met several parents and we exchanged e-mails so they can send me details about the area, sports sign ups etc… We are all anxious to move up here and get settled, not too much longer now, the boys have to finish school and the church house needs a little work done before we can move into it. On Saturday we went to the parish house to talk about the updates, new kitchen , bathrooms etc. It is a really cute house built in 1949; it is quite a bit different than our current house, but I think we can make it work for our family. The area is a really good area in an ideal location.
I enjoyed meeting everyone this weekend at Church. People are very welcoming and friendly, the boys have already made friends, they enjoyed Sunday School and coffee hour, and look forward to Greek School next year. All the boys looked very nice in their altar robes, beautiful white ones for this period following Easter and before Pentecost. The Church is absolutely beautiful and I am really looking forward to worshiping in this lovely Church with so many wonderful people.
We had rain today but we made the most of it by doing a little exploring of the downtown and the lake front. They boys wanted to see the Navy ships and hockey arena and we swung by the Church so they could enjoy the children’s library which is part of the Church’s lending library.
We hope to get home tomorrow, pray for good weather and low winds!

Quite the rain in NY this past weekend – I made the drive from Tarrytown to East Hampton and back yesterday and fortunately got on my flight today in LaGuardia despite the 65 people on standby for it!
Where in New York are you? Our weather has been awful lately! I am so ready for spring to pop up.. overnight hopefully. Your children are beautiful! That little Maria Angelica lives up to her name.. an angel..Good luck settling in!
Have a great week.

It sounds like such a wonderful place you are moving to. I am so happy for you!! :heartbeat:
:sunny: Moving right along!
I agree with Jane, it does sound idyllic.
It sounds like the adjustment period is happening so quickly for you all, a great welcoming and encourgament for you all. Praying God’s blessing on you all and this time of letting and embracing, that you will find God’s blessing and spiritual stamina to bring you all through.
I’m so glad for the way everything is working out for you all. I know seeing Mara make a new neighborhood friend yesterday just made me so happy and content to be here. I’m glad you’ve gotten to meet some neighbors.
Thanks be to God that you are happy with your new church. :sunny:
